I own a 2.5 year old Vibrant w/P133. It doesn't
power up correctly. I'm not sure if it's an internal battery problem
or if it's in some type of super sleep mode. When I push the power
button, some times it takes 3 tries to get it to start up. Then, the
drives don't spin up and you can't even get into setup. It just sits
with a blank screen. There is an icon on the lcd status panel (on the
chassis - not the display panel) that I don't remember seing before.
It is a the letters ZV inside a rectangle. I'm thinking that is
related to my problem but, as you all know, my owners manual did'nt
come with alot of detailed information.
I thought that if I removed and re-installed my cmos battery if it was
in a 'super sleep' I would clear that from memory...unfortunately the
battery appears to be soldered to the motherboard.
Thoughts, questions, comments...anyone?
Thanks djs
